# Maintenance Mode Computers can go into maintenance mode to install Windows Updates based on a scheduled time or once a day after the computer comes online. ### Scheduled Mode The scheduled mode allows you to choose a day and time when Windows Updates get installed. Faronics Deploy will install all approved updates during this time and reboot if required. ![Scheduled Mode - 1:00AM Everyday](/files/-MVYT44pGOluu05p_3Vg) ### Once a Day The Once a Day mode is an auto-maintenance mode where computers can install Windows Updates. This is used when there is no available window to schedule updates. Selecting the **Once a Day** mode will bring up an option to start the maintenance mode after a certain number of minutes after the computers boot up. ![Once a Day Maintenance Mode](/files/-MVYTbvdzrsKySeshK-C) {% hint style="info" %} Users can be notified that the computer will go into maintenance mode and be given the option to **snooze/defer** the maintenance between **1 and 12 hours**. During the maintenance mode, the Windows Updates will install. If a reboot is required, Deploy will reboot the computer. The users can also choose to defer these reboots (if required) up to 5 times. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
